YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD!

“Young people, it’s wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything you do. So, refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless.” (Ecclesiastes 11:9-10 NLT) You may think you are too old for Sunday School or...

THE CLOCKS

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV) Some people wonder why there are so many clocks in my house. When asked about them, I quickly respond, noting that I have reduced the number of clocks inside the house by 30%. As of the writing of this piece, I only have 17 clocks inside the house. Yes, there is one outside, but I did...

CLARIFICATION: IT’S NOT TOO EARLY!

“Then the Lord God said to the serpent, because you have done this, cursed are you more than all the livestock, and more than any animal of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life; and I will make enemies of you and the woman, and of your offspring and her Descendant; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise Him on the...

ME TOO!

“One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” (John 9:25b NIV) Many or most believers who were blind, can say, “But now they see.” Jesus made the difference for them, and for me too! Believers can also reveal that they were not always like they are now. Not only are they better, but that they are still striving for perfection, and achieving excellent Christian lives as they strive....

TOO OLD! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

A little girl who loves the Lord, and loves her Pastor too, told her grandmother, in so many words, “Pastor King is too old to be cool.” This followed a discussion comparing Pastor M.R. King, my son, with me, Pastor M.L. King. She made a preliminary comment; an opening statement, much like a lawyer, and perhaps it would stand up in court. Perhaps! Well, if my Counselor were to make an...

ARE YOU BUSY?

“I love the Lord, because He hears my voice and my pleas.  Because He has inclined His ear to me. Therefore, I will call upon Him as long as I live.” (Psalm 116:1-2 NASB) One of the following examples surely has been experienced by you, especially during the pandemic when so many people are working from home, going to school at all levels from home, teaching from home, and even seeking jobs...

WHEN WE ARE TOO COGNITIVE

“All Scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching, for rebuke, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man or woman of God may be fully capable, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17 NASB) There are days when I know I am too cognitive, continually thinking, constantly concentrating on things that congregate in the center of my mind.  I’m...

HOW DOES THE MOON GET FULL?

“Behold, children are a gift of the Lord…” ({Psalm 127:3a NASB) My great-granddaughter asked her mother a question laid bare that she was blessed with an exploring, curious, observing, inquisitive and extraordinary mind.  The question was not one that I would have thought of at the age of four years old!  While her inquiry, as expressed in an abbreviated form in the title above,...
